Enauta opts out to FPSO purchase

Enauta informed Modec that it will rescind the purchase contract for the FPSO Cidade de Santos. The vessel, which was purchased at the end of 2023, for US$48.5 million, will return to the helm of the Japanese company.  

Of this amount, US$7.2 million was paid at the signing of the contract, while the balance would be paid later. In a statement, the brazilian oil company highlighted that she has the right to receive half of the amount paid when signing the agreement, the equivalent of 3.6 million dollars.

The vessel produces oil and natural gas in Uruguá and Tambaú, in the Santos Basin. The fields were sold by Petrobras to Enauta on the same day as the purchase of the FPSO. Now, the companies are discussing what to do with the asset.
